Park Cities Dentist: Specialist Care Around the Corner

Around the corner from University Park and Highland Park

The practice sits at 8117 Preston Rd #170, in the Preston Commons West building in Preston Center, on the Preston Road corridor that runs through both University Park and Highland Park — parts of University Park share the practice’s own 75225 ZIP code. For most Park Cities households that puts a board-certified specialist a short way up Preston Road, so a routine cleaning and a full-mouth rebuild share one address.

Free parking is available in the garage and the on-site lot, and the entrance, restroom, and parking are wheelchair accessible. Spanish is spoken in the office.

Why keep a specialist this close

Proximity is the easy part; the reason to make the short trip is what waits at the end of it.

The name on the door is the person who treats you. Kathia Steel plans your care and does the restorative work herself, so the credentials worth checking belong to the dentist you actually sit with, not to a group practice trading on a shared name.

The practice is also out-of-network, and the office files your claims. Out-of-network means fees follow what a case genuinely needs rather than an insurance contract, which keeps visits unhurried and the treatment plan answerable to you instead of to a network’s rules.

Then there is the judgment itself. A good general dentist handles most needs well, but when the question is a bridge versus a denture versus implants, or a bite that has worn and shifted over the years, three additional years of residency in restoring and replacing teeth, plus a decade of referred reconstruction cases at UT Southwestern, is what you are driving up Preston Road for. Here is what a prosthodontist does.
